Customer Reviews

Reliable
This pumps, and it pumps well. Buy a fountian head for it too.

Runs well for a little under two years
This pump runs reliably for a little under two years. I just bought my third one yesterday and had a note to myself to buy another one next month so that I'd have it when the current one failed. Unfortunately I was one month under in my prediction. I predicted one year 10 months and it failed at one year nine months.

I run mine 24 hours a day every day in a pond that holds around 400-500 gallons.

A filter tip that works for me after years of experimentation and does not require a lot of maintenance: put about an inch of aquarium gravel in the bottom of a medium square pond plant basket. Place the pump inside the basket and then cover it with more gravel so the gravel is to the top of the basket. Every few weeks or as needed vacuum the upper layer of gravel with a large Python aquarium siphon Python No Spill Clean and Fill. Vacuuming the gravel will restore the water flow.
